Mandolin is guitar upside down?
I was watching a random YouTube video on mandolin, and the poster made an offhand comment that mandolin strings going descending are E-A-D-G, and the first four guitar strings going ascending are E-A-D-G. So the mandolin is the guitar upside down.
This quite frankly blew my mind. Does this mean that triads & open chords that work on a guitar neck will, when turned upside down, work on a mandolin?
Is this something that I was suppose to notice on my own?

And still saving my nickels & dimes & bottle caps & breakfast cereal box tops for my lifetime mandolin.
